Clifford,
With all respect, we approach the same issue from opposite points. I to, am concerned that our American Way of Life be protected and preserved. But my belief is that we can maintain a mighty war machine with far fewer dollars than we now invest.
Of course I'll not bore you again with my belief that we may well already be taken over by an American Corporate Empire, and very possibly a quiet military coup.
We can disagree on that subject until the drone bombs come home to roost.
But whether you are correct, or I am correct, we are in grave jeopardy of becoming a Third World Nation.
Respectfully,
Carl Jarvis

If we cut the military budget as you advocate, there will be no need to
make those flowery plans you speak of, as we will not be in charge in a few
years, as the enemies of this country will have a cake walk when they
decide to take over and dismantle the U. S. as we know it. I shutter to
think that you are going to work for an agency that has any in-put on such
issues.
I will take one piece of advice you gave, and that is to support and
contribute to,
, as never before, the candidates who are opposed to Obama and the
congressional and senatorial candidates who support him.
Yours Truly,
Clifford Wilson
Ps. if you have your way, I will invest in companies that produce white
flags.

Subject: [acb-chat] Additional health care countries?
Dear all,
I want to point out an news piece from Cnn.com that illustrates
other countries with near to full universal health care. Here is the
link url:
http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/28/health/countries-health-care/index.html?hpt=hp_t2
that illustrates latin american, african, asian and eastern european
countries that have won the struggle for universal health care. I'm
very passionant about this issue because in part my mother dying of
cancer in 2005 unecessarily and talking with a person with a ph.d in
health care administration in private and public and seeing the apathy
of the health care industry towards the plight of the poor and
pre-existing conditions at a local hospital where a diabetic died
unecessarily because of not having preventive health care in the area
in rural Auburn, Alabama.
Perhaps we will learn as a people that health care is a right not
a priviledge that we all are disposable at anytime. If you look at it
right that Steve Jobs died like plenty of other inventers and thier
legacy continues out of ccircumstances in the atmosphere or ecosystem
not because of simple sole ambition. There is something driving us as
humans together more than ever before to tackle emerging problems nto
to grow restless to settle for less. This is why I believe we need to
cut the defense budget from roughly 600 billion dollars down to 125
billion dollars ultimately to invest 100 billion into alternative
energy and 50 billion into infrastructure and this might ultimately
eliminate my job in logistics management but we must collectively
sacrifice for the good for all in my opinion.
In conclusion, I appreciate that John Roberts, chief justice sided
with the people on this crucial piece of legislation. If it is a tax
or health care mandate it doesn't matter the terminology the old
system was completely insolvient and unsustainable and so is our debt
load as well. It is time to tackle the deficiet and to put all options
on the table including increasing revenues and cutting other programs
and eliminating exemptions or deductables for special interest groups.
It time to modify programs for benefits for retirement for public
workers and health care contributions and to modify and standardize
savings and thrift in the process in government cows out there. This
collective action needs to address science, engineering, mathematics,
technology and other new wave innovations to address pressign issues
on the commercial to the residential personal endeavors like reducing
health care expendetures domestically and to facilitate a new dialogue
towwards universal access and affordable health care! By the way, I
hope all of you give to political causes this year like I will for the
Democraticatic side perhaps and to e-mail, phone call and contact in
general your elected officials!
see ya,
Peter

Subject: Re: [acb-chat] FW: CDCAN REPORT #128-2012: BREAKING NEWS - US
SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS HEALTH CARE REFORM ACT INCLUDING MANDATE
REQUIREMENT AS A TAX
To: acb-chat <acb-chat@acb.org>
I've never been more proud to be an American than I feel now! I
volunteered for health care reform in 2010 and even before in 2009 in
the growing days to make and refine the health care bill. It wasn't
perfect being a legislative bill but it most certainly was worth it!
Yes, I spent hours e-mailing my elected officials in Washington, D.C
and calling and defending the president! This is one large step
forward and one huge leap into our collective health care for
solutions that work for all!
sincerely,
Peter
